Opened up a game I play on my tablet. I don’t pay for this. It’s a freebie. On the game you can get rewards and bonuses for watching a couple 30 sec. ads. I usually am ok with it. Recently I was watching one, sound off. Adorable white doggy playing with a cute little toddler. I like to watch feely good things, now and then. I clicked to see if there’s more of the vid. It was a f\*\*\*ing robot dog. Is that really a thing that works like the video showed? AI? Scam? I didn’t watch long enough to see how much $$$ it would take to get one(not that I would). Have ya’ll seen these? ---

I had a Slinky dog( like on toy story) pull toy, as a kid. He was un-robotic. In fact he was tangled in 3 days I didn’t care I pulled it along. Barking(me, not toy dog). ---

Too many emojis; this comment is probably a scam
